Currently Reading:

Introducing Mrs. Collins by Rachel Parris

Here’s a peek into what the book is about:

“Torn between what she must do and what she truly desires, Charlotte finds herself at the center of a story she never expected to be hers. A tale of love, loss, and second chances, Introducing Mrs. Collins is for anyone who wondered if there was more to the sensible character we met in Pride and Prejudice. It is the story of a woman who had written herself out of her own life and is only now daring to want more.”

Next Meeting via Zoom on Saturday, August 15th, from 10:45-11:45 a.m

Our September-October Read:

The Murder of Mr. Wickham by Claudia Gray

Here’s a peek into what the book is about:

“The happily married Mr. Knightley and Emma are throwing a party at their country estate, bringing together distant relatives and new acquaintances—characters beloved by Jane Austen fans. Definitely not invited is Mr. Wickham, whose latest financial scheme has netted him an even broader array of enemies. As tempers flare and secrets are revealed, it’s clear that everyone would be happier if Mr. Wickham got his comeuppance. Yet they’re all shocked when Wickham turns up murdered—except, of course, for the killer hidden in their midst.”

We will discuss the 1st half of this book in person at Brew 1902 in Murrieta, CA.
